IntelliJ IDEA 2017.2 Help

Running Inspection by Name

Rather than running all enabled inspections, IntelliJ IDEA makes it possible to exactly specify the desired inspection by its name and run it to inspect the code in the specific scope.

To run a code inspection by name

Open the desired file in the editor. Alternatively select files or directories in the Project Tool Window. For multiple selection, click the items holding down the Ctrl/⌘ key. The initial inspection scope will be confined to the opened file or the selection.

On the main menu, choose Analyze | Run Inspection by Name , or press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I.

In the pop-up frame that opens, start typing the inspection name. As you type, the suggestion list shrinks to show the matching inspection only.

Use CamelHumps to match camel case words and white spaces to match initial letters of the words.

To run an inspection for the currently opened file, or the file(s)/folder(s) selected in the Project view, select the File/Module <name> option.

To apply inspect code in a specific scope, select the Custom scope option, then choose the desired scope from the drop-down list or click the Browse button and configure a new scope in the Scopes dialog box.
